In the Chicago area, Live Nation owns the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park; the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisc.; and the House of Blues downtown. It also has a contract to promote shows at the city-owned Charter One Pavilion on Northerly Island, and it often books the Congress Theatre in Logan Square.
Jam owns the Park West in Lincoln Park, the Riviera Theatre and the as-yet inoperable Uptown Theatre in the Uptown neighborhood and the Vic Theatre at Belmont and Sheffield. It also has an exclusive agreement to book shows at the Aragon Ballroom.
Live Nation and Jam compete to book major arena shows at Chicagoâs United Center and the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, though Live Nation has been winning an ever-increasing number of these shows as the company buys major tours from coast to coast, shutting out local promoters who might otherwise compete.
So.....why the hell don't we contract with these proven groups & get out of the Theatre Management business. Lease to them, they are true revenue earners.
No charge for this advice.
Your Welcome.
